BootAnimations Creator

Simplicity.

What is this?

This is a simple Python script that turns a ffmpeg video or png series into an Android boot animation.

Why was this created?

I didn't discover any tools that would do this, so I decided to make one.

Dependencies

FFmpeg if you plan on decoding video files. If you already have a WAV file and series of PNGs you don't need anything.

Running

From releases

You can download a binary for your system. currently supported OSes are:

• Windows x64
• Linux x64 (may or may not also run on macOS x64)

Running from source

If you want to run this from source, you can!

1. Install requirements first:

Debian:

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip git
# Optional
sudo apt install python3-tk

Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3 python3-tkinter git

Windows:

Download Python from: https://www.python.org/
Download git from: https://git-scm.com/download/win

macOS:

brew install git

To be done.

2. Clone:

git clone https://github.com/MajliTech/bootanimation-creator.git
# Or, with ssh if you prefer
git clone git@github.com:MajliTech/bootanimation-creator.git
cd bootanimation-creator

3. Create a venv (optional, if you plan on building then this will make binaries lighter):

# On Ubuntu, you need to install python3-venv
# On Windows, you might need to use python instead of python3 in case it is asking for install from MS Store.
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 -m venv .

4. Download requirements:

# On Windows, you might need to use python instead of python3 in case it is asking for install from MS Store.
python3 -m pip install -r src/requirements.txt
# On Windows you also need:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pywin32

5. Run:

# On Windows, you might need to use python instead of python3 in case it is asking for install from MS Store.
python3 src/main.py

Build an executable

1. Follow steps 1-5 from previous guide
2. If you have created a venv for this build, install Pyinstaller: pip install pyinstaller
3. Build

pyinstaller src/main.spec

4. The executable will be placed in the src/dist folder, go pick it up and run it!
